Fort Lee Alterations

I don’t know what’s going on with Mr. Sung or it’s just men’s suit not hie expertise? My husband brought his suit last week for Mr. Sung to shorten the sleeves, and the suit came back looks like nothing has been altered, when my husband saw the sewing of the lining, he was really upset, the sewing work was extremely bad, the sewing line was all exposed and not even, it looks like done by unprofessions, I could probably done better than that…
I can’t figure out why he did such beautiful work on my wedding dress before but such a poor work on a suit, which doesn’t make sense to me.
I would not recommend you to take your suit here to be altered though.

I brought many things to be altered to this guy, he does wonders! I don’t even need to tell him what I need to be done. He just knows. I had a few gowns that needed work. He did more than just the basic alterations. He checked every part of the dresses and fixed all the small things too. Not only does we later dresses, but costumes and other things. Everything I brought has had very difficult stitching and he perfects it all.
I brought my husband suits there too. My husband loves this guys handy work.
I do not trust anyone else within a 20 miles radius.

I brought my wedding dress because it was a little lose and I wanted to have it adjusted to prevent it from falling and when i came to pick up, it was too tight, hard to breathe and hard to close. In addition the bottom of my dress had red and yellow stains all over (it was a brand new dress with no stains prior to bringing to this store) He charged me 150 for the poor work and I paid him because I wanted my wedding dress. By the way, he only accept cash or check payable in cash.

The guy that altered mine and my husbands jeans were pretty good and made the seam lines unnoticeable, but the price is however he called it the first time or the second time and may change unless you remind him of what he quoted the first time. Overall nice guy and good alterations.

I’m from Central Jersey where there are NO good tailors or alterations (or at least any sufficiently trusted ones that I could find on Unilocal), so I decided to get my stuff done here in Fort Lee where my girlfriend lives. I am pretty happy with the experience.
I had to get a pair of suit pants hemmed for a wedding. The job he did on it was great.
I also had a corduroy blazer lying in my closet that I wanted to get the sleeves shortened. The filtered review on Unilocal gave me a little scare, but I decided to give this place a shot anyways. I just got it back today, and I must say that the job he did on shortening the sleeves is great! It looks like I bought the blazer this way at this perfect length.
Just FYI. I don’t think there is a laundromat or dry cleaning here (at least there is none on-site…when I went to this place all there was were clothes being altered).
Also, the changing «room» for you to change into the clothes that you want him to hem (so he can measure you) is kind of ghetto. It is just a stand in the corner of the room with a curtain… but I feel this is pretty typical of a vast majority of the tailor/​alterers/​laundromats that I’ve been to when I used to live in NYC.
All in all, it was $ 37 dollars to get pants hemmed and a blazer’s sleeves shortened (I think the pant hemming was more like 12 bucks… the blazer was the more complex job). Will definitely go to this place again if necessary. I will probably get a pair of jeans hemmed here with the original hem soon.

I got my wedding dress altered here. In 6 days, the owner Mr. Sung fitted my bodice + shortened hem. He charged half of what I’d expected from a Manhattan tailor, but more important, my dress fit like a glove!
After shopping around dry cleaners with signs saying that they do alterations, I was surprised to see how some seamstresses were scared to touch my wedding dress, even though it is not laced or beaded. I believe that their bread and butter is shortening pants and minor alterations, so I was so relieved to find Mr. Sung, who is a trained tailor who makes suits AND dresses. It is hard to find someone who can tailor both men and women’s clothing.
Very fast, professional, reasonable, and honest. Plus, he was wearing True Religions, which I gather he altered himself lol
